Pegasus Downtown Presents an evening of literary excellence with diverse poetry and fiction featuring: Tomás Moniz, M.K. Chavez, Cassandra Dallett, Hollie Hardy, Carvell Wallace, Eric Nelson. Join us. *** TOMÁS MONIZ teaches at Berkeley City College, writes for and edits the zine rad dad (a zine on radical parenting which is always looking for submissions), and wonders why all his favorite words are dirty. MK CHAVEZ seeks to proliferate all writing not just her own--She is poetry editor at Full of Crow, co-editor of The Walrus Literary Journal, and occasional editor at Cherry Bleeds. Her chapbooks include: Virgin Eyes, the sold out VISITATION and NEXT EXIT #9, and PINNACLE. Upcoming and recent publications include Zygote in My Coffee, Instant City, 580 Split, and Down This Crooked Road. You can learn more about her work at www.littlebrownsparrow.com CASSANDRA DALLETT lives in Oakland, CA. She is Mama to four kids and two Pit bulls. She finds them all loving and loyal, but says you never know when one of them will bite the mailman, or the Spanish teacher.  When not cooking for her army she writes poetry and short stories of memoir. Cassandra has published in Cherry Bleeds, The Chiron Review, Yellow Mama, Gutter Eloquence, Ascent Aspirations, Criminal Class Review, Poetry Super Highway, Nibble, The Milvia Street Journal, and The Beat Museum of San Francisco. HOLLIE HARDY is an MFA candidate for poetry at San Francisco State University, where she will teach creative writing next summer. She is the Editor-in-Chief of Fourteen Hills: The SFSU Review and former curator of The Velvet Revolution reading series. Her work has been published in Parthenon West Review, Transfer, Milvia Street Journal, Goetry, and Boxcutter. CARVELL WALLACE is a writer and father living in Berkeley, CA. He's had a buttload of serious career paths including bike messenger, prison based math teacher, conservatory trained actor, award-winning bandleader, and bar researcher. Seriously. He was paid to drink in bars. But all that getting dressed and operating in the real world grew tiresome, so he chose to write instead. He has been published in Rad Dad magazine, BigAssWeb.com ( which is: A- not a porn site and B- now defunct so don't bother) and The Making of A New Democracy, which was edited by June Jordan. He is currently working on several short stories and a novel about his mother's untimely death from lung cancer. ERIC NELSON is an emerging writer originally from New Jersey, the son of a nurse and machinist. He wrote the zine series “The Silk City Series,” which is now a book of short stories from Knickerbocker Circus Publishing. He is currently curating readings and is at work on his debut novel. He’s a combination of Black Flag and Raymond Carver.  He can usually be found laughing loudly at something inappropriate. He lives in Queens, New York and he loves it.
